R280.00
“The third instalment of the Harvard series is far from a fairytale.”
The Princess…
High society heiress, medical protégé, Oyama Sisulu’s bedside manner is cold and aloof, has been since she was a fifteen-year-old rebelling against the truth of her birth, her parents’ separation and being suddenly thrust into media scrutiny. One stolen night out, completely robs her of her innocence, gives her Amandla and catapults her into a world of sexual violence, one she manages to keep away from her family and struggles with on her own until she meets Sipho, the Pied Piper who draws her out with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows, one rainy winter day.
…and the Piper.
Sphola was just a gangly young man, when a big fancy car stopped by his Kota stand. His life about to change through the kindness of a rich stranger, but he only had eyes for her fifteen-year-old princess who sat stonily in the car, not even sparing him a glance. Sphola spurred up to be the kind of man that she would sit up and notice, worked himself out of his ghetto Kota stand to a children’s fast-food chain while neglecting his role in his son’s life. Grown-up Sipho unlike Sphola the gangly teen, doesn’t have to work hard to get the attention of the girl who has had his heart since she was fifteen, but what will it take for him to break down the walls that she has barricaded around her heart? Will he fight her demons at the expense of his spiritual gift?

An important rumination on youth in modern-day South Africa, this haunting debut novel tells the story of two extraordinary young women who have grown up black in white suburbs and must now struggle to find their identities.
The rich and pampered Ofilwe has taken her privileged lifestyle for granted, and must confront her swiftly dwindling sense of culture when her soulless world falls apart. Meanwhile, the hip and sassy Fiks is an ambitious go-getter desperate to leave her vicious past behind for the glossy sophistication of city life, but finds Johannesburg to be more complicated and unforgiving than she expected.
These two stories artfully come together to illustrate the weight of history upon a new generation in South Africa.

The Cry of Winnie Mandela transgresses the borders between fact and fiction, fusing aspects of the novel, biography and essay. It is a beautiful book, the writing lucid and quietly passionate, a work of deep intelligence.~ Chris Dunton, Mail & Guardian
The life story of Winnie Mandela remains one of the great dramas of our times, an ongoing tale of triumphs and tragedies that is still unfolding. In The cry of Winnie Mandela, a highly acclaimed novel first released in 2003, Njabulo S Ndebele focuses on four women at a specific period in the history of Southern Africa who have spent time waiting for their men to return. Their ordinary, ‘private’ stories are anchored to the more powerful public stories of Penelope, of Ancient Greek mythology, who waited nineteen years while her husband Odysseus was away, and Winnie Mandela, who waited for twenty seven years. The women question themselves and each about how and why they waited and what this waiting did to them, leading to a series of extraordinary and haunting ‘conversations’ with one another as well as Penelope and Winnie.

South Africa never was, nor ever will be the Rainbow Nation we believed Mandela dreamt about. But we’ve woken up and grown up and we’re trying to come to terms with this reality.
Kopano has also grown as a writer in the last few years. In Period Pain she has poignantly captured the heartache and confusion of so many South Africans who feel defeated by the litany of headline horrors; xenophobia, corrective rape, corruption and crime and for many the death sentence that is the public health nightmare. Where are we going, what have we become?
Period Pain helps us navigate our South Africa. We meet Masechaba, and through her story we are able to reflect, to question and to rediscover our humanity.
